Sampson w. Finch was indicted BY
the grand jury of Jackson county, upon
the charge that he, Sampson Finch. in
said county, on the LIST day of October
A. ID. 1882, did wllfully disturb the
peace of Rebecca Jones, then and there
by offensive conduct there, against the
peace and dignity of the State of Missis
sippi." The defendant moved to quash
the indictment because it failed to sci
out the particular acts charged as of.
fensive. The court oferruled the
motion and the defendant was convicted
and now appeals to this court.
Sec. 1859, Code of 1880, makes it q
misdemeanor for any one to disturb the
peace of another "by any tumuItuous or
offensive conduct
ARNOLD, J., delivered the opinion of
the Court.
The motion TO quash the indictment
should have been sustained. 1t was not
enough to allege, in the words of the
statute, that the disturbance was caused
by offensive conduct. As a general rule,
IT is sufficient to charge a statutory
offence in the words of the statute. but
this rule does not apply, when there are
In the language of the statute, no
words to define any offence. What CON
stituted the offensive conduct, or the
nature or character of the offensive
conduct, should have been stated in the
indictment. Harrington VS.. The State.

..pEorLE WILL TALK.

stTo show what liars some men are, we
need only state some of the many rumors
set afloat since the publication of our rea-
sons why Jones S. Hamilton Should moi
again be elected to the Senate. The ink
was hardly dry on the article when the
report was started that the editor had gone
to Alabama When reminded that nc
train had left in the direction of Alabama
il was all at once discovered that the
editor had left on an Illinois Central train
and would be back on one of the Sunday
evening express trains.
aRumors and reports Of rumors that We
could not be found were constantly pro-
mulgated, and it was impossible to turn a
corner without hearing new lie.
aAll this time the editor Of this paper
was attending strictly to the business oil
his Office, ia South President street, and
passing in full sight of the rendezvous OF
Hamilton's forces half dozen times daily,
passing Mr.. Hamilton himself more than
once.
ssAs specimens of the heroic mendacity
left over from the local option campaign
these reports may interest those who
erroneously supposed the stock exhausted
last summer"
The Spord and Shield editorials which
we have quoted constitute the best EVIL
dence Of what the state of feeling was
between Gambrell and Hamilton on the
fatal night when they met each other,
that we have been able to get. 1t
needed but the slightest demonstration

WOODBRIDGE.
A beautiful Suburb on the Baltimore
and Ohio Now Being Projected.

hhu NJ" neiuE EEOJtCteus
An extensive tract, consisting OF 1t0
acres, situate on the picturesque Baltimore
and Ohio, and formerly known as the
Brown property, has been purchased aud
is now being subdvlded by Messrs. A. P.
Pardon and E. b. Townsend. The land ia
in the immediate vicinity OF Mills and
River stations, and is bounded on the
north by the Brentwood road. On entering
this property II at once strikes one as being
peculiarly healthy. The odor of pine, with
which timber the tract abounds, Is gratify-
ing to the olfactories, and Its elevation of
some 200 feet above tide water precludes
the possibility Of malaria. Like Rome It
has seven hills, from any one OF which a
magnificent view can be had for miles
the dome OF the Capitol being In plain sight
from any point on the land.
1t ls not the intention OF Messrs. Pardon
and Townsend to place "Woodridgc" upon
the market until the extensive improve
ment, now rapidly beiug projected, are
completed. With the very large force Of
work this can be accomplished inside of
sixty days. An "Amerlcan champion
road machine is used in opening the ave-
nues and streets, and is under the personal
supervision OF the agent, Mr. Hatch. There
are to be nine streets and avenues, each
venty feet wide, with parking twelve
feet, and sidewalks eight feet on each side.
There will be something over 200 lots,
each to contain about half an acre of
ground. IL will thus be seen that this
project is not in the least manner
"boom." The gentlemen who have charge
OF the undertaking are we'll known, and
confidently expect to make "Woodridge"
the beauty spot Of the District and place II
upon sale at low figures. IL will be easier
OF access than any suburban subdivision,
and the communication fares by railroad are
exceedingly low.

ALEXANDRIA MATTERS.
IteDs of Interest Gathered for the
"Isepublican's" Readers.

A few short months ago there arrived In
this city with the Norton Shipbuilding
Company Mr.. j. Z. Walker who secured
board with the family Of Mr.. Arthur Greg
ory, on South St. Asaph street. A few
days ago the Norton company informed
the gentleman that they would no longer
need his services and he might look else
where for employment. Yesterday Mrs.
Gregory found that she had been robbed of
$50 in money, q gold watch, and other ar
tlcles Of value. An investigation devel-
oped the fact that Mr.. Walker, In whom
they had implicit confidence, had jumped
the town, relieving them OF the responsi-
bility OF caring for the articles mentioned.
Miss Mary and Miss Hannah Lunt, who
have been visiting friends in Fauquier
and Loudon, have returned to the city.

SLIDING DOWN THE HILL.
The Washington Team Keeps Adding
TO Their Defeats

The Philadelphia club had little trouble
In defeating the Statesmen yesterday after
noon by score Of ten to three, in contest
That was about as tame an exhibition Of ball
playing as could be imagined. Some OF the
Washingtons played at times as though
they did not care whether they won or lost,
and added greatly to their already unen-
viable reputation for careless and indifTer-
ent work. 1t appeared as though several
OF the boys had bad case Of the "sulks."
Playing for individual glory will never add
to the home teams list OF victories, and the
sooner this is drilled into their heads the
better. Too easy management will not re.
suit in a desirable position at the end Of
the season aud q little necessary discipline
will greatly improve matters. Up TO the
first half of the fifth inning the game was
close one, each club having
secured run, but at this
point the Quaker City club drew away
from their opponents with the most ridicu-
lous ease, and on combination OF the
most fragrant errors, coupled with two
three bsggers and single, scored five runs,
only one OF which was earned. In this In
ming the local players completely lost their
nerve and ehowed the white feather. It
was bad case of ''rattle,n aud, as usual,
the "Phillies" profted by It. Wild throws,
Wild pitches, passed balls, bases on balls,
and all other errors known TO base ball ex-
cept mufred fly were INDUCED IN by the
Wasbibgtons In this inning, amid the most
deiisive yells OF the 200 spectators present,
VIII were not slow to show their disgust aC
such miserable playing. From this inning
until the close OF the game little interest
was manifested by the spectators, It being
foIegone conclusion that another defeat
was In store for the Statesmen, Indeed,
several innings before the game
closed at least one-fourth OF those
In attendance left the ground. Those
who remained were aroused from their
lethargy IN the eighth inning, when the
Washingtons made two earned runs on
Daily's base hit and O'Brien's home run hit
over left field fence, which was the only
credltSble feature Of the homo clubs play.
O'Day and Bufllntou both pitched fairly
well, but the latter's support was OF much
higher order OF merit than that given
O'Day. Wood distinguished himself In the
fourth inning by making line rr ming
catch Of a hot liner from Carroll's bat.
Dealy's play at short stop and Donnelly's at
third base were miserable and of the most
inexcusable kind. Valentines umpirlng
was unsatisfactory and his decisions on
balls and strikes anything but correct,
which fact was noted by the bleaching board
contingent, who guyed him all through the
game. Mr.. Valentine should seek some
other occupation. The same clubs play
again to-day, when ladies will be admitted
free OF charge. The score:

A DEMOCRATIC PROPHEsY.
The Labor Vote Will Snow Them
Under in New York,

The Labor Vote VIII Snow Them
Under in New York.
A number Of New York Democrats stood
in front of Wizards last night discussing
the political outlook. In tue gathering
were four men who are noted for their fine
diplomacy in the political world. 1t was
agreed that New York would decide the
presidential election in 1888, as 1t did in
1854. Said one OF the gentlemen "The
Democratic party can just depend on this,
that 80 per cent. Of the labor vote will be
from among the former Democratic voters
in New York, and II the various labor
organization succeed In polling 100000
voters In our state In 1SSS-and believe
they will exceed that number-you can
next President"
"Suppose David B. Hill should be nomi-
mated, couldn't he capture o large share of
the labor voter asked one of the gentle.
men present.
"Not bit of 1t. Neither David B. Hill
nor any other man who is branded with
Democracy can do anything with the labor
people In the next presidential fight. The
fact is the Democrats who have been in
power In the lower house Of Congress al
most continuously since 1874 have never
done thing toward organized labor. am
a good Democrat myself, but can't help
but denounce my party friends for their
treatment OF the laboring classes, and you
rest assured they will get even with US on
the next trip.n
